In Search of 200

[Rocket Man]

you sound kinda jealous of all those guys buying cars more expensive than yours. enjoy your car, I'm sure they are enjoying theirs.

To spend that kind of money to drive 35 around town and 70 on the highway, and you can't even take the wife and dog at the same time, it sure sounds dumb. In my area I see 992's, Ferrari's, Maserati's, Bentley's, you name it, all the time. Plus tons of classic cars like the '67 427 tripower Vette that I posted photos of, all driven by guys older than me. Oh yeah, a few C8's, very few. These guys enjoy going out for a local drive and enjoy their cars and like to show everyone what they have, never going much beyond the speed limit or .2g in a turn. And that is all there is to most owners, I guess it makes them happy just to own it. Hell, if they didn't buy the cars, it would just all go the wife and heirs!

To me it is stupid to spend that $ on a C8, but spending $ before you croak is smart.

Spending 200 on a C8...that will give you the performance of a car twice the price...sounds pretty SMART...(and cost effective to me)...and I'm sure fido isn't into most 2+g turns...and tell me why after making the purchase... they shouldn't drive them ...wherever..or however they want...35 around town works for them..would you feel better seeing them do 75 in a 35....or 95 in a 70...on the interstate...Gotta admit...I'm just not gettin yer pount...

BTW: I'm waiting for the first C8 to get anywhere near 200 at Land Speed Trials. I'll be there next week looking for one.

And if there's not....what ..if anything will that mean...

I don't see driving anything on the street 40 or so above the limit as smart. Only knuckleheads do that. Smart people go to the track. Property, limb and life are at stake.

That means that there will be none there???

Property...life and limb are @ stake...EVERYTIME you get behind the wheel of any car...regardless of where you operate it.....and as far as being a "knucklehead"...I doubt there are any of us on here that hasn't done that...EVEN YOU

Think what you like, I drive defensively. I race at the track.

Lot of great people selling their amazing tastefully modded cars for a good deal right now too. Also should all be low 9s

And having a hard time doing so.....Way less demand for a modded HC...a low mileage unmolested HC is a much easier sell in the secondary market....
